Early Monday morning, January 5th, in Chamonix, temperatures reached -14°C, and -16°C in some areas.
According to him, the coldest period will be reached during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, more precisely Wednesday morning before sunrise. "We will have temperatures similar to those of Monday morning, or even a little lower," the meteorologist explained. Stations located at 1,000 meters altitude could then see temperatures approaching -15 to -16°C.
And what about the Aiguille du Midi, which is expected to record a staggering -24°C on Wednesday morning!
The storm arrives on Thursday
And then a storm will arrive, bringing milder air. "On Thursday, the cold air and the milder air of the storm will meet," Vincent Munka continued. "This convergence could generate snowfall down to the plains on Thursday, before the rain-snow line rises to around 1,000 to 1,200 meters on Friday." And the cold weather is expected to return as early as Sunday, with polar temperatures again.
